• Ensure programs are competitive, compliant, and aligned with Philips’ global rewards strategy and local regulations. Drive continuous improvement and innovation in Health & Wellbeing offerings, leveraging employee feedback, market trends, and best practices.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

This is an office role.
